AMP News - AR Groups: Who Gets the Money? - Corrected Version

2 January 2006
Animal People's Annual "Who Gets The Money" List
In its December 2005 edition, which was just released, the animal rights publication Animal People once again published its annual analysis of IRS reports by key animal rights/animal welfare groups. For those extremist groups involved in campaigns against the use of animals in research, the amount of money raised and budgeted increased in FY2004 in all but a couple of instances.
As you review these numbers, keep in mind that groups such as SHAC, Hugs for Puppies, and the Animal Defense League did not file tax documents for FY 2004, yet were responsible for the most visible attacks against research.

Also for your thoughts, here is how Americans for Medical Progress placed in FY2004 in the categories noted by Animal People. Clearly, the animal rights forces have much more in the way of finances to wage their campaigns. We need your support! Click here to donate to AMP and help us begin the New Year on the right note.

Americans for Medical Progress/AMP
raised/earned: $709,680
budget: $516,252
programs: $416,932
overhead: $99,320
net assets: $387,973

ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUPS
(figures in parentheses show FY2003/FY2002/FY2001budgets)
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals/PETA
raised/earned: $28,072,597
budget: $25,063,060 ($16,414,174 /$13,499,614 /$17,668,699)
programs: $21,583,096
overhead: $3,479,964

Foundation to Support Animal Protection/FSAP

programs: $30,926
overhead: $3,263,890
net assets: $18,543,022

(Note that PETA was apparently the sole beneficiary of FSAP in FY2004. Animal People has consistently noted that FSAP serves as a place for PETA to locate some of its fundraising and management costs. From Animal People: "Attributing those costs to FSAP has the effect of concealing the true extent and nature of PETA spending and assets. If FSAP and PETA were seen as a single fundraising unit, they raised $31 million, spent $28.4 million; spent $18.6 million on programs; and their overhead expense came to $8.8 million, 31% of the budget. Their total assets were $30 million, 60% held by FSAP including 57% of the cash and securities. Their combined payroll was $6.1 million, of which FSAP paid $1.8 million - 29%." )

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine/PCRM
